«Heroes
of Our Time».
Conclusion
Introduction
Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov during
his short life managed to leave a great creative legacy, in the form of many
poetic works and the immortal novel «A Hero of Our Time».
A Hero of Our Time is a hero for all
time. And this hero is embodied in the image of Grigory Alexandovich Pechorin,
a Russian officer of the mid-19th century.
Pechorin is a man of strong will,
courageous, who does not turn away from danger, but, on the contrary, heads
towards storms and anxieties in order to find a job for himself and fill the
immense emptiness of his spirit, even if with activity without a specific goal.
His indifference and irony are more of a secular habit than a character trait.
Grigory Alexandrovich does not listen
to the voice of his heart and does not consider it necessary to follow him. He
is the son of his time and lives primarily with his mind. If a thought that
could recognize the legitimacy and necessity of serving the public good,
humanistic ideals won out in his consciousness, then it would free him from the
difficult moral problems of individualism, in which he was held captive. And
although the path he chose did not bring him happiness, he still remains
faithful to him. The voice of the heart, the voice of the human need for love,
benevolence, justice, the happiness of giving themselves to others have not yet
had time to come into the consciousness of Pechorin and tell him that this path
is real for a person. The truth remained unrevealed to him.
But in his rationalism and striving
for truth, the «hero of our time» shows considerable knowledge from
various spheres of life, philosophicalism and deep psychologism.
The purpose of this work is to study
Pechorin’s reading ability based on Lermontov’s novel «A Hero of Our
Time». It is necessary to determine the sources of Pechorin’s knowledge
and his attitude to various types of literature in general.

Biography of Mikhail Lermontov.
One of Russia’s most celebrated poets of all times,
Michael Lermontov was born in Moscow in the family of a nobleman. He spent his
childhood and youth at Tarkhany, his grandmother’s estate in the province of
Penza. In 1830 Lermontov entered Moscow University, but very soon had to leave
it. Then he entered St. Petersburg School of Cavalry Cadets. He finished it in
1834 and served in the Hussar Regiment of the Imperial Guard.
In 1837 the poet was exiled to the Caucasus for
his poem on Pushkin’s death, in which he put blame for it on the ruling circles
of Russia under Nicholas I. In 1841 Lermontov was exiled to the Caucasus for
the second time. As a result of the intrigues by the officers he was provoked
into a personal quarrel with a schoolmate of his. The quarrel led to a duel. On
July 15, 1841 the poet was killed. He was not twenty seven at the time.
Lermontov began writing
when he was very young. One of his first writing to be published was his verse
tale «Hadzhi Abrek». But he won fame as a poet after his poem on
Pushkin’s death was published. Lermontov’s poems «Demon»,
«Mtsyri» and «Lay of the Merchant Kalashknikov», his
innumerable lyrics, his great novel «A Hero of Our Time» and his play
«Maquerade» are masterpieces of Russian literature. Whether he chose
to write poetry, prose or drama, the stamp of his genius was to be found on his
works.
The poet was greatly influenced in his writings
by the ideas of the Decembrist movement. Lermontov’s influence as a poet and a
thinker on all Russian writers can’t be overestimated.

«Heroes of Our Time»
The novel consists of five
independent chapters, united by the figure of Pechorin, a common theme, and the
author’s idea. The impression that the narrative is «torn apart»
reflects the thought about the «torn apart» of the hero’s life, the
absence of a unifying principle in it, a great goal, in the movement towards
which his life path could be built. Pechorin’s whole life passes in pursuit of
a new goal, which each time leads to disappointment. This eternal search
reflects not only the peculiarities of a given concrete historical character,
but also the epoch itself with its dramatic searches of the human spirit.
The purpose of the novel «A Hero
of Our Time» M.Yu. Lermontov defined it as an image of the entire
generation. Lermontov wanted to reveal Pechorin’s character as deeply as
possible. Therefore, he resorts to a rather unusual way of constructing the
novel. He emphasized that «the history of the human soul, even the
smallest soul, is almost more curious and not more useful than the history of
an entire people.» But the soul of Grigory Alexandrovich Pechorin is by no
means shallow, he is an extraordinary person.
If you think about it, the novel should begin with the story «Taman»,
because it is there that Pechorin, who was heading to the Caucasus, stops. The
chronological sequence of the most important events in the life of the
protagonist was slightly violated by the author. Indeed, in fact, events
developed in this order: after serving in an active detachment, Pechorin goes
to the «waters», lives in Pyatigorsk and Kislovodsk, kills
Grushnitsky in a duel. For participating in a duel, he is sent to the fortress,
where the young man meets with Maxim Maksimych. From there the warrant officer
goes to the village for a short time.Then Pechorin went to Petersburg and five
years later found himself in the Caucasus again, going to Persia. On the way
back from Persia, he dies. But it is not clear why Lermontov refuses such a
sequence of presentation? Probably the fact is that the author wanted to show
his hero in different situations, in a new social environment, surrounded by
people occupying different positions in society.
The connection between the novel and the
works of romanticism is obvious. It was romanticism that discovered in
literature the inner world of a person as the main object of the image. But
romantics, as a rule, were interested in an already established bright
personality. Lermontov is concerned with «the history of the human soul»,
since the soul, like the character of a person, is formed throughout his life,
on the one hand, in accordance with his passions and beliefs, on the other,
depending on the era and society. «Taman» is romantic in nature. It
describes the story that happened to him on his way to the Caucasus. And
already in this story, one of the main qualities inherent in this person
becomes clear — curiosity. It was it that helped the protagonist to unravel the
secret of the beautiful undine, while destroying the «peaceful circle of
honest smugglers.» However, Pechorin himself is deeply upset by this.
«Why?» — he asks himself a question and does not find an answer to
it.
In «Bela» — the first story
of the novel, the narrator Maxim Maksimych, an old officer, staff captain, who
spent most of his life in the Caucasus. Maxim Maksimych is an ordinary, simple
person. He fell in love with Pechorin, understood his originality, the strength
of nature of the protagonist, his iron will, the ability to subjugate
everyone.However, what is important, for the old man his colleague remained a
“strange” person. Listening to his story, we ourselves begin to consider
Pechorin a mysterious person, but we cannot understand and explain this
character.
Why did Pechorin, knowing full well
that Maxim Maksimych was expecting him for dinner, did not come? Why did he
dryly give his hand to the old man when he was about to throw himself on his
neck? Why didn’t you even talk to your ex-boyfriend? He did not want to stir up
the long lived things again, remember life in the fortress, Belu. I did not
feel friendly feelings for the old man (as well as for anyone else). Why would
he?
Having met Pechorin from the stories
of other people, we understand that we have more questions than answers. This
story kindles our curiosity about the main character, raises questions about
the reasons for the formation of such a character. However, we cannot find the
answer to these questions here.
In the second story, a wandering
officer is already talking about him, a man, of course, educated and belonging
to the same circle as Pechorin himself. The action takes place five years
later, the main character is on his way to Persia. Here the author describes to
us the figure of Pechorin, his gait, clothes, hands, hair, skin, facial features,
paying special attention to the description of the eyes that “did not laugh
when he laughed! .. This is a sign — either of an evil disposition, or of deep
constant sadness. » We are faced with the image of a devastated person who
has experienced a lot in his lifetime.
Let’s talk a little about the inner
world of the protagonist. “Princess Mary” is based on diary entries, it is
almost a daily chronicle of Pechorin’s life. At the same time, the main
character describes not so much the events themselves (it seems that they do
not interest him at all), but his opinions, feelings, as if he carefully
examines, analyzes his soul and those people with whom his life confronts.
Pechorin’s diary is of great value, as it is «a consequence of the
observations of a mature mind over itself.» This diary is the dignity of
our hero, because not everyone will be able to reveal themselves, their inner
world with the same frankness and completeness as Grigory Alexandrovich did.
The story «Princess Mary»
provides answers to most of the questions we have posed. It starts out unusual.
Unlike «Taman», where Pechorin is extremely active, here we see him
admiring the landscape, enjoying the view of cherry blossoms and experiencing a
gratifying feeling, we understand that the young man is a poet at heart.
Pechorin gives apt characteristics to the steppe landowners, which
characterizes him as an observant, intelligent, well-versed person.
This story reveals Pechorin’s desire
for action, curiosity, pushing him to experiment with others and over himself,
his reckless courage and desire to understand what motivates people, to reveal
the motives of their actions, to comprehend their psychology.
Here, on the «waters»,
Pechorin meets with the cadet Grushnitsky.However, something annoys him in
Grushnitsky. Why is this 21-year-old boy so disliked by the ensign? Yes, he
dreams of fame, of officer’s epaulettes, but after all, who does not dream of
this at such a young age? Yes, he is a naive, narrow-minded person, but he can
be forgiven for that too. Pechorin cannot come to terms with some of his
resemblance to this stupid youth. Grigory Pechorin is really experiencing a
feeling of deep disappointment in life, which for the cadet is just a posture.
Grushnitsky is completely false, and our hero cannot stand falsehood and
insincerity. How often can one not recall the poem “How often is surrounded by
a motley crowd”: around the young man “images of soulless people, decency masks
pulled together” flash around the young man, which, of course, is unpleasant
for him. Annoyed, Pechorin wants to annoy his former colleague. Without any
remorse, he interferes in the fate of the cadet, falls in love with Mary, which
was the reason for the discord with Grushnitsky.
In the story, the protagonist is on
good terms with Dr. Werner. The qualities that attract Pechorin to the doctor
are skepticism and materialism, as well as the fact that he is a poet in his
soul, because these qualities, in fact, are the best features of his own
character. However, the doctor also has the main difference from the
protagonist: he has a business — he is a doctor. Is friendship possible between
them, such smart people who understand each other? It turns out not. Firstly,
as Pechorin himself says, he is not capable of friendship, because “of two
friends, one is always the slave of the other” (I dare not agree with this
point of view, because real friends are equal).Secondly, according to the young
man, he (and the doctor) refers to people who «in truth … are rather
indifferent to everything except themselves.» And such people cannot be
friends, cannot sacrifice anything for the sake of friendship.
Reading the novel, the lines come to
mind:
Good and evil are shamefully
indifferent …
… And we hate, and we love by
chance,
Sacrificing nothing for malice or
love …
This indifference does not bother
anyone as long as everything goes smoothly. But what to do when a storm
happens? And a storm happens, because Pechorin cannot live without them, he
creates them himself (the lines from Lermontov’s “Sails” come to mind,
perfectly characterizing the young man: “And he, rebellious, asks for storms,
as if there is peace in the storms”). So, in such a situation, Pechorin’s cold
indifference can turn into evil and turns into evil (remember, for example, «Taman»).
In «Princess Mary» Pechorin
interferes in the romance between Grushnitsky and Mary, destroying the life of
Vera. He is busy making the princess fall in love with himself out of a desire
to dispel boredom, annoy Grushnitsky, or God knows from some other. After all,
even he himself does not understand why he does it. An entry appears in his
journal: «In the course of two days, my affairs have progressed
terribly.»
«What am I bothering with?» — he asks
himself and answers: «There is immense pleasure in the possession of a
young, barely blossoming soul!» This is selfishness! And besides
suffering, he can bring nothing to either Pechorin or those around him. He
writes about the attractiveness of the “possession of the soul” of another
person, but never once wondered where his right to this possession came from!
Without reading this story, you doubt that Pechorin is capable of love: he soon
tired of Bela, he is not at all attached to Maxim Maksimych. And Vera is his
old love. However, he loves her “for himself”, does not think about her, about
what torments her. There is an obvious contradiction: if he loves Vera, then
why take care of Mary? So what about Mary?
The comedy conceived by Pechorin
becomes a tragedy. He challenges Grushnitsky to a duel. Where he stands at
gunpoint, wanting to check how Grushnitsky is subordinate to evil, whether he
has the strength and meanness to kill an unarmed man (we know that the young
man’s pistol was not loaded). Miraculously, he survives. However, he is forced
to kill the cadet. Grushnitsky dies.
«Princess Mary» shows us
the true tragedy of Grigory Pechorin. After all, he spends such a remarkable
nature, enormous energy on trifles, on petty intrigues. Isn’t that tragic ?!
Pechorin constantly feels his moral
inferiority: he speaks of two halves of the soul, that the best part of the
soul «dried up, evaporated, died.» In a conversation with Mary, he
says: «I became a moral cripple …» This is Pechorin’s true tragedy:
feeling his mental inferiority, he does not see its causes, blames the world,
people and time for his spiritual slavery.
So, in «Princess Mary» the
soul of Pechorin is revealed to us.This story also shows us the good qualities
of the protagonist, such as poetic nature, extraordinary mind, insight, and bad
traits of his character (selfishness). Indeed, a real person is not
exceptionally good or bad. We see that Grigory Aleksandrovich Pechorin is a
contradictory and ambiguous person. Before the duel, he himself says: “Some
will say: he was a good fellow, others — a scoundrel. Both will be false.
» This chapter plays the most important, central role in the novel, since
it allows us ourselves (without any intermediaries, as in the first two
stories) to trace the development of the character of the protagonist, to learn
about the formation of his nature, “selfish and dry,” as A .WITH. Pushkin. We
learn about this from his confession to Mary: the young man confesses to her
that such a society of the Grushnitskys made him a “moral cripple”. It can be
seen that this “disease” is progressing: the exhausting feeling of emptiness,
boredom, and loneliness takes over the main character more and more. At the end
of the story, already in the fortress, he no longer sees those bright colors
that so pleased him in the Caucasus. “Boring,” he concludes.
It is in this story that all the main
questions of the novel are raised — social, psychological and philosophical —
which is why it occupies a central position in the novel.
In Fatalist, the final novella, where
the hero again tries to solve an important riddle: what is the true purpose of
man, what is the meaning of being, what role does freedom, fate, and faith play
in a person’s life.It becomes clear that Pechorin owes much of his behavior to
the absence of moral precepts developed by faith in some higher idea. In this
part of the novel, he reflects on faith and unbelief. Having lost God, man has
lost the main thing — moral guidelines, a system of moral values, the idea of
spiritual equality.
Homelessness, the restlessness of
Pechorin and senseless death «somewhere on the way to Persia» is a
spiritual collapse, to which the author leads his hero. For it is not given to
a person to judge himself according to norms other than universal human norms,
for the path to permissiveness is the path to devastation, to spiritual death.
In the novel, Pechorin, as it were, «brought a mirror to his entire
generation.» I think it would be nice for us to look in this mirror too.
Are we losing our human face? Are we not becoming “moral cripples”?
Conclusion
After reading the novel by Mikhail
Yuryevich Lermontov «A Hero of Our Time, as well as having familiarized
myself with a number of other sources indicated below, in this work I studied
the erudition of the main character — Grigory Alexandrovich Pechorin.
Analyzing, recording, speech and
behavior of Pechorin, you can come to the conclusion that he has a large
vocabulary, easily learns languages and improvises in conversation.
All this testifies to the well-read character
of the character, his in-depth and long-standing acquaintance with various
literature.
Based on the tex, it was possible to
find out that Pechorin is familiar with the works of such authors as Walter
Scott, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, George Gordon Byron, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Mark
Tullius Cicero, Guy Julius Caesar, Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin.
And also hypothetically read the
works of many ancient philosophers and thinkers, as well as historians, because
Pechorin mentions Napoleon and Alexander the Great.
Pechorin’s style of narration is very
refined, it is felt that he is equally interested in prose, poetry, fiction and
drama.
Grigory Alexandrovich is not alien to
religious literature, in particular, the Holy Scriptures. Although his
worldview was largely formed by the free-thinking of the ancient Greeks and
enlighteners.
Pechorin’s readability is beyond
doubt and remains a model for education.It is impossible to comprehend the
essence of many of the hero’s judgments, I do not know the sources to which he
refers.
Literature for Pechorin is the world
in which he first tried to find truth and answers to the questions weighing on
him, and then just take a break from reality, having received aesthetic
pleasure.

We all wrote in childhood a school essay «Heroour time «based on the novel by Mikhail Yurievich Lermontov, but most of the students did not think much of the writer’s motives and the history of the work. Arguing objectively, not every schoolboy is able to understand the complex psychological experiences of adults. Therefore, to the classical work, on the one hand — simple, and on the other — deep, it is necessary to return to mature years and re-think, to find a common or opposite to itself, the world, the universe …
Birth of the genre
The work «The Hero of Our Time» was the firstprosaic novel written in the style of socio-psychological realism. Moral and philosophical work contained, in addition to the history of the main character, a vivid and harmonious description of the life of Russia in the 1830s. This was a kind of experimental innovation in terms of genre on the part of the author, since at that time there was no such genre as «novel». Lermontov later admitted that he wrote the novel «The Hero of Our Time», relying on the Pushkin experience and the literary traditions of Western Europe. Especially this influence is noticeable in the features of the romanticism of this novel.
Prerequisites for writing
In 1832, M. Lermontov wrote a poem «I want to live! I want sadness … «How does a young man have such despair, together with the maturity of thought, the accuracy of vision and such an uncontrollable desire for a storm? Perhaps this life-affirming desperation attracts the attention of many generations of readers and makes Lermontov’s poetry relevant today? Thoughts about the desires of storms also appear in the poem «Parus», written in the same year: «And he, the rebellious, asks for storms, as if there is peace in storms!» His contemporary, almost the same age, A.Gerzen spoke of his generation as «Poisoned from infancy».
To understand these words, it should be remembered, inwhat era Lermontov had to live with, and the time that was later reflected in the novel The Hero of Our Time. The composition of the novel is more correct to begin with an analysis of the poet’s earlier poetry, since it is in them that the prerequisites that prompted the author to create a unique work are visible.
Early life M. Lermontov fell at a time that was quite sad for the history of Russia. December 14, 1825 on the Senate Square in St. Petersburg there was an uprising of the Decembrists, which ended in defeat. Organizers of the uprising were hanged, the participants were sent to a twenty-five year old exile to Siberia. Lermontov’s peers, unlike Pushkin’s contemporaries, grew up in an atmosphere of oppression. This should take into account modern schoolchildren, preparing an essay on this topic.
«Hero of our time»
Lermontov gave the hero «an unhappy entitybeing «of its era. At that time the commanders played the role of the oppressors of the people, the judges were needed to complete the unfair trial, the poets — to glorify the king. The atmosphere of fear, suspicion, hopelessness grew. In the youth of the poet there was no light and faith. He grew up in a spiritual desert and kept trying to escape from it all the time.
In the poem «Monologue» there is a line: «Among the empty storms our youth is languishing …» It’s hard to believe that the author of the poetic work turned 15 years old! But it was not ordinary youthful pessimism. Lermontov could not explain, but he was beginning to understand that a person who can not act can not be happy. Ten years after the «Monologue» he will write a novel «The Hero of Our Time». The writing on this topic must necessarily contain a discussion of the current time and the place of the person inside it. It is in «The Hero of Our Time» that the author will explain the psychology of his generation and reflect the desperation on which his peers are doomed.
History of writing
When writing a composition it will be reasonable to indicate,that the novel Lermontov began to write in 1838 under the influence of Caucasian impressions. At first it was not even a novel, but separate stories united by the main character. In 1839 the journal Otechestvennye Zapiski reported that M. Lermontov was preparing to publish a collection of his novels. Each of these stories was based on a certain literary tradition: «Bela» was written in the style of a traveler’s essay, «Princess Mary» — according to the traditions of a secular novel, «Taman» — in the spirit of a lyric novel, «Fatalist» — in the manner of «a story about a mysterious case «, Which was popular in the 1830s. Later from these novels a full-fledged novel «The Hero of Our Time» will be born.
Composition-reasoning can be briefly supplementedevents described in the novel «Princess Ligovskaya» (1836). This work chronologically and plotted preceded the «Hero». There for the first time appeared Pechorin, a guards officer who was in love with Princess Vera Ligovskaya. A separate chapter «Taman» was written in 1837, appearing as a continuation of «The Princess Ligovskaya.» All these works are related to each other and have a single social and philosophical line, a single concept and a genre orientation.
Editorial edits
In the new edition was changed the composition of the novel»Hero of our time». The composition was recommended to be supplemented with a chronology of writing: the story «Bela» became the initial chapter of the novel, followed by «Maxim Maksimych» and «Princess Mary». Later the first two stories were combined with the title «From the notes of the officer» and became the leading part of the novel, and the second part was «Princess Mary». It was intended to state the pressing «confession» of the protagonist. During August-September 1839 M. Lermontov decided to completely rewrite all the chapters except for the chapter «Bela», which at that time was already published. It was at this stage of the work that the chapter «Fatalist» entered the novel.
In the first edition of the novel was called «Onefrom the heroes of the beginning of the century «. He consisted of four parts — four separate stories, although the meaning of the novel divided the author himself into only two parts. The initial part — notes of the officer-narrator, the second — notes of the hero. The introduction of the chapter «Fatalist» deepened the philosophical stream of the work. Breaking the novel into pieces, Lermontov did not set the task of preserving the chronology of events, the goal was to maximally reveal the soul of the protagonist and the soul of the people of that troubled era.
By the end of 1839 M. Lermontov creates the final version of the novel, including in it the chapter «Taman» and changing the composition of the work. The novel began with the head of Bela, followed by Maxim Maximich. Notes of the protagonist, Pechorin, now began with the head of «Taman», and ended with «Fatalist». In the same edition appeared and the famous «Pechorin’s Magazine». So, the novel consists of five chapters and a new name appears: the novel «The Hero of Our Time».
What is common between Pechorin and Onegin
The surname of the main hero of the novel linked him withPushkin’s Eugene Onegin. The name Pechorin comes from the name of the great Russian river Pechora, located near Onega (hence, as already noted, and the name Onegin). And this relationship is not accidental.
Following A. Pushkin M. Lermontov refers to the image of his contemporary and analyzes his fate in the conditions of his time. Lermontov penetrates deeper into the secrets of the soul of the protagonist, strengthening the psychology of the work and saturating it with profound philosophical reflections about the morality of society.
Genre accessory
«The hero of our time» is an essay-reasoning,The first moral and psychological prose novel in Russian literature. This is a kind of realistic novel, in which the main focus is on the solution of moral problems posed by the writer, requiring profound psychological analysis.
In the novel the author decides the actual for histime moral and ethical problems: good and evil, love and friendship, death and religion, the appointment of a person and freedom of will. The psychologism of the work lies in the fact that Lermontov concentrates attention on the personality of the hero, his emotional experiences. Before the reader appears «naked» soul Pechorin. The novel «The Hero of Our Time» is the story of his soul.
Characteristics of the work
The author changed the composition several times tomore fully reveal the main problem — the spiritual quest of the main character. This is the whole Lermontov. «Hero of Our Time», whose theme is seen in the description of life situations and turns in the fate of the protagonist, completely devoid of any chronology. The question arises: why does the author not adhere to the chronology in the arrangement of the chapters? Chronological inconsistency is due to several reasons.
- Firstly, the novel contains elements of various genres: notes, a diary, a secular narrative, an essay, and the like.
- Secondly, the author sought to interest the reader, to carry out a «journey» into the psychology of the hero, to immerse the reader in the depths of the inner world of the character.
Due to the complex and «inconsistent»the structure of the work in the novel several storytellers, in each chapter — its own. Thus, in the chapter «Bela» the reader learns of the course of events from the story of Maxim Maksimovich (Maksimych), in Maxim Maximich the story is led by the officer, the chapters «Taman», «Princess Mary», «Fatalist» are presented in the form of a journal and a diary of the main character . That is, the narrator is Pechorin himself. The forms of the journal and diary allow the author to give not only an analysis of the hero’s soul, but also a deep introspection of the personality.
Pechorin and Bella: indifference and love
By nature Pechorin was an adventurer. How else to explain the situation when Azamat, the son of one of the local princes, kidnapped Bel’s sister and brought Pechorin, and in response Pechorin steals Azamat’s horse from Kazbich? The hero did not tire of giving his woman expensive gifts, which eventually won her favor. The girl attracted him with her pride and disobedience.
If we talk about the power of feelings, the response orunrequited love, then Lermontov’s sympathy on the side of Bela — she really fell in love with Pechorin really. But the main character seemed to go with the flow, he himself could not determine whether the girl feels real feelings, or is the passion bubbling in his soul and body. In this and the tragedy of the protagonist — he was unable to deeply empathize. The love affair of Pechorin-Bela contains the themes of his works. «Hero of Our Time» contains many points that reveal the ability of the main character to strong feelings. Pechorin realizes that he is the cause of the misfortunes of others, but he does not yet understand what is the matter. As a result, all his experiences are reduced to boredom, emotional emptiness and disappointment.
However, to talk about complete heartlessness is notit is necessary. When Bela dies a terrible death, it causes sympathy for her not only with Maxim Maksimych and readers. In the last moments of Bela’s life, Pechorin became «as pale as a canvas». And then «I was ill for a long time, I lost weight, poor thing …» He felt his sin in front of her, but tried to hide all his feelings deep in his soul. Perhaps that is why he burst out with a «strange laugh», which frightened Maxim Maksimych. Most likely, it was a kind of nervous breakdown. Only a real «hero of our time» could act like this. The composition of his character to the author was close — he lived next to such people side by side every day. The reader sees the act of Pechorin through the eyes of the narrator Maxim Maksimych, but does not understand the reasons for these actions.
The ratio of Maxim Maksimych to Pechorin
«He’s so white, his uniform is sonew, that I immediately guessed that he was in the Caucasus recently, «- Pechorin Maxim Maximich saw. From the description it is felt that the narrator sympathizes with Pechorin. This is evidenced by words with diminutive affectionate suffixes, which the narrator uses, and the phrase «Glorious was the guy …».
In the novel «The Hero of Our Time» an essay on lifePechorin could be written in a separate multi-page book — so ambiguous, vivid and deep image was laid in him by the author. Pechorin differed from others in his behavior: a reaction to changes in temperature, sudden pallor, prolonged silence and unexpected talk. Because of these «unusual» for the old-timers, Maxim Maksimych considered Pechorin strange.
Maksimych understood the feelings, driven by the youngerPechorin, however, considered it necessary to return the girl to his father, although he strongly attached himself to Bela, respecting her for pride and endurance. However, he also owns the words: «There are people with whom you must certainly agree.» Maxim Maksimych had in mind Pechorin, who was a strong personality and could subordinate everyone to his will.
Coloring of nature
Lermontov in Russian prose is one of the firstauthors, for whom nature is not naked scenery, but a full-fledged hero of the narrative. It is known that the author was captivated by the beauty of the Caucasus, its severity and grandeur. Roman Lermontov’s «Hero of Our Time» is simply permeated with pictures of nature — wild, but beautiful. As noted by a number of critics, it was Lermontov who, to the notion of «humanizing nature» already used by other writers, first added «human conditioning». Special artistic methods in describing nature allowed to emphasize wild laws, according to which the people of the mountains lived. The same accuracy in the description and brightness of the color of the Caucasus is distinguished by paintings written personally by M. Yu. Lermontov.
conclusions
So, the work «Hero of Our Time» — already inthe very title of the first novel contains its entire essence. Pechorin is the personification of the generation. It can not be said that all people rushed about in their spiritual experiences, suffered from misunderstandings, and their souls became hardened. The protagonist personified not so much fellow citizens as the era — a complex, sometimes cruel to people, but at the same time strong and strong-willed. This is what must be remembered when preparing the work «The Hero of Our Time.» Lermontov brilliantly conveyed the atmosphere of society in the history of one hero.

Russia Beyond (Peter Zabolotsky, 1837 / Tretyakov Gallery / Public Domain; Modern Library Classics, 2004)
The main hero of this masterpiece is one of the most repulsive characters in Russian literature.
The novel is a collection of short stories about one peculiar character who the author believes to be the embodiment of vices of his generation.
Summary (SPOILER ALERT!)
The events of the book take place in the Caucasus in the early 19th century. The Russian Empire sends troops to fight sparse groups of local disobedient highlanders.
Although the book revolves around the main hero, young Tsarist officer Grigory Alexandrovich Pechorin, the events are recounted by different people.
Grigory Pechorin is a young officer exiled to serve in the Caucasus; intelligent, educated, with a contradictory character, he is disappointed in life and looking for thrills.
At night, he sees a blind boy going somewhere, follows him and finds out that the boy is connected with smugglers. Pechorin threatens to turn them in, for which they try to kill him. The attempt fails and the smugglers disappear, leaving the blind boy behind.
Then, Pechorin goes to a resort where he decides to win the heart of a young woman named Mery out of sheer boredom. Unexpectedly, Pechorin’s ex-lover also shows up at the resort. The hero starts dating his married ex-lover, while courting Mery to divert attention from his connection with the married woman. Mery then falls in love with Pechorin. A fellow serviceman who was in love with Mery subsequently spreads rumors about Pechorin’s affairs. Pecherin kills him in a duel. Finally, he breaks Mery’s heart by rejecting her before he is exiled to the Caucasus for partaking in the duel.
In the Caucasus, Pechorin serves under the command of a captain who becomes his friend. One day, the officer falls in love with a young and beautiful local Circassian woman named Bela. He makes a deal with Bela’s younger brother: he gets Bela and her brother gets a horse stolen from a militant Circassian named Kazbek. Bela becomes Pechorin’s mistress, but quickly bores him. So, he begins to frequently leave her alone and heartbroken.
While he is away, a bellicose Kazbek kidnaps Bela and leaves her mortally wounded. The girl dies in Pechorin’s arms. Then, Pechorin is transferred to another unit.
At the new place of service, Pechorin’s comrade-in-arms decide to test his fate with a Russian roulette. Trying to prove that fate does exist – and that no man would die until the day he is destined to die – he holds the gun to his head and pulls the trigger, but the weapon misfires. Pechorin is confused, because he claims that he sees the “death seal” on the serviceman’s face. To everybody’s surprise, the man is killed by a drunken Cossack on his way home from the party the same night. Pechorin also decids to try his fate and risks his life to arrest the murderer. The hero survives against the odds.
Pechorin and the captain, two friends, part for a long time. The captain is left with the officer’s diary. During a chance meeting, he wants to return it, but Pechorin, going to Persia, does not want to communicate with his old friend and leaves without saying good-bye.
Interpretation
Lermontov’s masterpiece is a study of the destructive power of human egoism and nihilism. Although Pechorin has a certain charm he is portrayed as a repulsive character. He is burdened by his arrogance and individualism, but he does not want to overcome either.
Wherever he happens to be, he destroys the normal flow of life of people in his vicinity, often with dramatic and even fatal consequences. Out of curiosity he disrupts the lives of smugglers who are forced to flee leaving behind a blind boy who is doomed to survive alone from then on; pursuing his own interests he breaks the heart of a young woman and kills a man who, unlike him, was truly in love with her; eventually, he inadvertently causes the death of a woman who loves him. Wherever Pechorin goes, he leaves behind scorched earth.
Lermontov portrays a character who he claims to be the embodiment of the vices of his time, highlighting the relevance of his book to contemporary readers. The author believes that readers should not be fed sweet stories with happy ends, but should see raw life as it is in reality. Hence, the title of the book.

Nowadays very few people are capable of feats. it exploits not just what do super heroes. this is the same human actions. for example, to help the grandmother to carry the heavy bags, helping mom at home and so on. if you get in trouble enough people agree to help you. so be a hero yourself and do good. in our time is a rarity. it is very much appreciated. you should not do it for status among friends. do it for mankind and becomes the hero.
в наше время очень мало людей которые способны на подвиги. подвиги это не только то, что делают супер герои. это так же человеческие поступки. например помочь бабушке донести тяжелые сумки, помочь маме дома и так далее. если ты попадаешь в беду мало человек согласится тебе помочь. так будь героем сам и твори добро. в наше время это редкость. это очень ценится. не стоит делать это для статуса среди друзей. делай это для человечества и станешь героем.

My favorite writer
I’m fond of reading. I have a lot of books at home and sometimes I borrow books from the library. I like to read history books, novels and plays. Reading is a very pleasant and useful part of my life, it helps me to understand life and people better.
I would like to tell you about my favorite writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. In my opinion, Chekhov is the greatest Russian dramatist and short-story writer. I’m never tired of reading his humorous stories and plays, sometimes I even reread them.
Chekhov was bom on January 29, 1860 in Taganrog. In 1879 he went to Moscow to study medicine. Chekhov was very proud of his medical knowledge, even though he didn`t practice medicine very much, it was more important to him, than his writing talent.
While he was studying in college, Chekhov supported his family by writing humorous sketches for newspapers. In 1886 he collected the best ones into a book and called it «Motley Stories». This book attracted the attention of the publisher of the famous Russian newspaper «Novoje Vremja» and Chekhov was asked to send his stories to the newspaper regularly.
Chekhov, managed to develop his own writing style. He wrote not only comic stories, but he was a serious dramatist. His first play “Ivanov”, was written in 1887.
Chekhov was seriously ill with tuberculosis and knew what it meant. In 1892 he was feeling so bad, he was afraid to stay in Moscow. He bought a small estate, which was situated near Melikhovo (a village, 50 miles from Moscow) . Inspite of his bad health, the writer spent 5 very happy years there. He wrote some of his best stories there, such as “Ward No.6”, two of his serious dramatic masterpieces – “Uncle Vanya”and “The Seagull” and several well-known one-act comedies.
“The Seagull’ was a complete failure when it was first staged in the Alexandrinsky Theatre in Saint-Petersburg. The production was dull and clumsy, and it was terrible for Chekhov. However, the play was successfully performed in 1898 at the Moscow Art Theatre. Since then, Chekhov was closely connected with this theatre and its founder, K.S. Stanislavsky. In 1901 Chechov married Olga Knipper, the actress, who acted in his play «The Three Sisters».
Chekhov’s health continued to get worse, so he had to spend the remaining years in the Crimea and other health resorts.
His last play, “The Cherry Orchard” was produced in 1904. Soon after the premiere Chekhov died at the age of 44.
Chekhov had an immense influence on the 20th century drama. Russian and foreign writers study Chechov`s stories and plays to make their literary style better.

Мой любимый писатель
Я люблю читать. У меня дома много книг, а иногда я беру книги из библиотеки. Я люблю читать книги по истории, романы и пьесы. Чтение — приятная и полезная часть моей жизни, она помогает мне лучше понять жизнь и людей.
Я хочу рассказать вам о своем любимом писателе Антоне Павловиче Чехове. По моему мнению, Чехов — самый великий русский драматург и автор коротких рассказов. Я никогда не устаю читать его юмористические рассказы и пьесы, а иногда даже перечитываю их.
Чехов родился в Таганроге 29 января 1860 года. В 1879 году он уехал в Москву, чтобы изучать медицину. Чехов очень гордился своим знанием медицины, даже несмотря на то, что не так много практиковал, это было для него важнее, чем его писательский талант.
Во время учебы в университете, Чехов писал юмористические рассказы для газет, чтобы поддерживать свою семью. В 1886 году он собрал лучшие в сборник, который назвал “Пестрые рассказы”. Эта книга привлекла внимание издателя известной в России газеты «Новое Время», и Чехову было предложено регулярное сотрудничество.
Чехову удалось разработать свой собственный стиль. Он писал не только юмористические рассказы, но так же был и серьезным драматургом. Его первая пьеса “Иванов” была написана в 1887 году.
Чехов был серьезно болен туберкулезом и знал, что это значит. В 1892 она так плохо себя чувствовал, что боялся оставаться в Москве. Он купил небольшое имение, расположенное рядом с Мелихово (деревня в 50 километрах от Москвы). И, несмотря на болезнь, он провел там 5 очень счастливых лет. Он написал там несколько своих лучших рассказов, таких как “Палата № 6”, два серьезных драматических шедевра – “Дядя Ваня” и “Чайка”, и несколько известных одноактных комедий.
“Чайка” провалилась, когда впервые была поставлена в Александринском театре в Санкт-Петербурге. Постановка была скучной и неуклюжей, и для Чехова это было ужасно. Тем не менее, пьеса была успешно поставлена в 1898 году Московским Художественным театром. С тех пор, Чехов был тесно связан с этим театром, и с его основателем, К. С. Станиславским. В 1901 г. Чехов женился на актрисе Ольге Книппер, которая играла в его пьесе “Три сестры”.
Здоровье Чехова становилось все хуже и хуже, поэтому ему пришлось провести оставшиеся годы в Крыму и других курортах.
Его последняя пьеса “Вишневый сад”, была поставлена в 1904 году. Вскоре после премьеры Чехов скончался в возрасте 44 лет.
Чехов оказал огромное влияние на драматическое искусство 20-го века. Российские и зарубежные писатели изучают рассказы и пьесы Чехова, чтобы улучшить свой литературный стиль. -

Reading is the pleasant and useful part of our life. People like reading. I think so because a lot of books are bought and sold every day in different bookshops and in streets (or: outside) too. Of course, radio and television are more popular among people but books still play an important role for us. Reading enriches our mind. It can satisfy many different demands and literary tastes. It reveals to us its own world of life, which is sometimes cruel or sorrowful and sometimes is joyful or fantastic.
Speaking about reading I can’t help saying about my favourite writer. He is one of the most famous Russian authors of the 19th century – Mikhail Yurievich Lermontov.
His life was momentary and blinding as a gleam of lightning in a stormy sky.
Not having lived till 27 years old, he passed the entire circle of life with flights of inspiration and bitterness of disappointments. He went through many troubles in his life: great success and two exiles, disappointments and love, smoke of battles and intrigues of a high society.. And died in thunderstorm… This is the entire circle.
Just two latest figures changed their places in the dates of his life. But how many emotions were experienced by him and what antagonism of ideas existed in his mind and soul!
I like novels, stories and poems by Mikhail Lermontov very much. Needless to say that the most part of the poems and almost all novels and stories are full of melancholy – this is the particularity of his works.
No doubt, all of us have read his poems at school and of course have got acquainted with “The Hero of Our Time”. In this novel through the heroes Lermontov tried to express his own sense of time and events.
The main character is Grigoriy Alexandrovich Pechorin – an individualist with a conflict in his sole. He disdains a high society and searches for a real affair, where he could apply his skills and his talents, where he could put his soul. But he doesn’t find such an affair and suffers from it.
Pechorin is a deep character. He is like his author, a man who searches for real life, deep feelings, true love and feels useless in his time.
Lermontov never wrote non-fiction. All his compositions are made-up but a great part of them is connected with real events of the 19th and other centuries. There is no humor in his works, they are deep and full of the author’s thoughts. They reflect the problems of the society and make us think. That is why I like them very much and enjoy every minute, reading books by Mikhail Yurievich Lermontov.
Чтение – приятная и полезная часть нашей жизни. Люди любят читать. Я так думаю, потому что много книг покупается и продается ежедневно в разных книжных магазинах и также на улицах. Конечно, радио и телевидение более популярны среди людей, но книги все еще играют важную роль для нас. Чтение обогащает наш ум. Оно может удовлетворить множество разных потребностей и литературных вкусов. Оно открывает нам свой собственный мир жизни, который иногда жесток или печален, а иногда – радостен и фантастичен.
Говоря о чтении, я не могу не сказать о моем любимом писателе. Он – один из наиболее знаменитых русских авторов 19-го века – Михаил Юрьевич Лермонтов.
Его жизнь была коротка (досл. – мгновенна) и ослепляющая, как вспышка молнии на штормовом небе.
Не дожив до 27 лет, он прошел полный круг жизни с творческими подъемами (досл. – полетами вдохновения) и горечью разочарований. В своей жизни он прошел через многие трудности: огромный успех и две ссылки, разочарования и любовь, дым сражений и интриги высшего общества… И погиб в грозу. Это – полный круг.
Только последние две цифры поменялись местами в датах его жизни. Но как много эмоций он прочувствовал, и какой антагонизм (антагонизм – противопоставление) идей существовал в его уме и душе!
Я очень люблю романы, повести и стихотворения Михаила Лермонтова. Нет нужды говорить, что большая часть его стихотворений и почти все романы и повести полны меланхолии – это характерная черта его работ. -

I like reading books. I have read many books. I had to read some books at school, so they were the part of lessons and I found other books for myself because they were interesting for me. I should say that the series of books about Harry Potter written by J.K. Rowling impressed me most of all.
Я люблю читать книги. Я прочитала много книг. Мне пришлось читать некоторые книги в школе, они были частью уроков, но я нашла и другие книги, потому что они были интересны для меня. Я должна сказать, что серия книг о Гарри Поттере, написанная Джоан Роулинг впечатлила меня больше всего.
Joanne Rowling is a British writer who became very famous and popular after the publication of the book “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” in 1997. The story tells us about a boy who is the most famous child in the magical world. He knew it on the day of his eleventh birthday. The series of books ended with the publication of the seventh book «Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows» in 2007. 10 years have already passed but the books are still very popular. Why are they so popular?
Джоан Роулинг – британская писательница, которая стала очень известной и популярной после публикации в 1997 году книги «Гарри Поттер и философский камень». История рассказывает нам о мальчике, который является самым известным ребенком в волшебном мире. Он узнал об этом, когда ему исполнилось одиннадцать. Серия книг закончилась публикацией седьмой книги «Гарри Поттер и Дары смерти» в 2007 году. Уже прошло 10 лет, но книги по-прежнему очень популярны. Почему они так популярны?
Joan Rowling has achieved success because her books are interesting for people of all ages. Children read her books as a fairy tale, teenagers learn how to be a good friend and adults can spend hours analyzing the actions of the characters.
Джоан Роулинг добилась успеха, потому что ее книги интересны людям всех возрастов. Дети читают ее книги как сказку, подростки учатся быть хорошими друзьями, а взрослые могут часами анализировать действия персонажей.
Nowadays Joanne Rowling is known for her criminal novels “Call of the Cuckoo” (2013), “Silkworm” (2014), “On the Service of Evil” (2015). She wrote these books under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. It is important to say that Joanne Rowling is a famous screenwriter and a film producer. Rowling donates a great part of her income to charity.
В настоящее время Джоанн Роулинг известна своими криминальными романами «Зов кукушки» (2013), «Шелкопряд» (2014), «На службе зла» (2015). Она написала эти книги под псевдонимом Роберт Гэлбрейт. Важно сказать, что Джоан Роулинг – известный сценарист и продюсер. Роулинг отдает большую часть своего дохода на благотворительность. -

Мне нравятся многие произведения русской и зарубежной литературы. Несмотря на впечатляющий список великих писателей всех времен и народов, лично для себя я давно выбрала любимого писателя – это М.Ю. Лермонтов. Без сомнений, Лермонтов – это один из гениальнейших русских писателей, его произведения отличает реализм, злободневность, они актуальны во все времена.
Лермонтов прожил весьма короткую жизнь, но за это время он успел создать огромное количество блестящих произведений, он стал новатором, создав первый психологический роман, в котором проанализировал личность человека, где в одном герое отразил черты современников.
Во многом произведения Лермонтова автобиографичны, зачастую он описывал свое окружение или события, которые происходили в его жизни.
Известно, что М.Ю. Лермонтов был верным поклонником творчества А.С. Пушкина, а в ранних произведениях Лермонтова особенно заметно подражание Пушкину.
Меня особенно восхищают герои, созданные Лермонтовым. Они волевые, целеустремленные, они остаются до конца верны своим идеалам, они непоколебимы. Лермонтов мастерски создал образы, которые до сих пор волнуют душу и сердца читателей.
Произведения Лермонтова очень разноплановые, в каких-то произведениях я нахожу мотивацию и призыв к действию, другие же способны подбодрить меня, когда мне грустно.
Мне очень близки произведения М.Ю. Лермонтова, погружаясь в чтение его трудов, я понимаю, что я не одинока в этой мире, я наблюдаю за переживаниями других людей, наблюдаю за их поступками, вижу противоречия, которые они испытывают.
Я считаю, что труды Лермонтова поучают людей. Меня вдохновляют его герои, я тоже хочу быть сильной духом и не сдаваться перед серьезными препятствиями.
М.Ю. Лермонтов – один из известнейших писателей и поэтов России. Его произведения нужно читать в любом возрасте, перечитывать, чтобы открывать новые грани, новые мысли после прочтения. Лермонтов пишет так просто и изящно, его наследие всегда будет будоражить умы людей. -
My favourite writer is Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. In my opinion, he is the greatest Russian dramatist and short-story writer. I’m never tired of reading and rereading his plays and humorous stories.
Chekhov was bom in 1860 in Taganrog. In 1879 he went to Moscow, where he studied medicine. Though he practised little as a doctor in his lifetime, he was prouder of his medical knowledge than of his writing talent.
While in college, Chekhov wrote humorous sketches for comic papers to support his family. He collected the best ones into a volume, Motley Stories, in 1886. The book attracted the attention of the publisher of the Novoje Vfemja, Russia’s largest paper, and Chekhov was asked to contribute stories regularly.
Chekhov, as an established writer, was able to develop a style of his own. Though he never gave up writing comic stories, he began working in a more serious vein. In 1887 Ivanov, his first play, established Chekhov as a dramatist.
From then on, he concentrated on writing plays, as well as short stories.
Chekhov was seriously ill. He had tuberculosis and knew what it meant. By 1892 his health was so bad that he was afraid to spend another winter in Moscow. He bought a small estate near a village Melikhovo, 50 miles from Moscow. He spent 5 years there, and those were happy years in spite of the illness. He wrote some of his best stories there, including Ward No.6, several well-known one-act comedies and two of his serious dramatic masterpieces, The Seagull and Uncle Vanya.
The Seagull was first staged in the Alexandrinsky Theatre in Petersburg. It was a complete failure because of the dull and clumsy production. It was a cruel blow to Chekhov. However, the play was successfully performed as the first production of the Moscow Art Theatre in 1898. From then on, Chekhov was closely connected with this theatre and with its founder, K.S. Stanislavsky. In 1901 he married an Art Theatre actress, Olga Knipper, who acted in his play The Three Sisters the same year.
Chekhov’s health went from bad to worse and he had to spend the remaining years in the Crimea and other health spas.
The Cherry Orchard, his last play, was produced in 1904. Soon after the first night Chekhov died. He was 44.
Chekhov had an immense influence on the 20th century drama. Besides, several generations of writers both in Russia and abroad studied and imitated Chekhov to perfect their own literary style.
Перевод
Мой любимый писатель- Антон Павлович Чехов. По-моему, он самый великий русский драматург и автор коротких рассказов. Я никогда не устаю читать и перечитывать его пьесы и юмористические рассказы.
Чехов родился в Таганроге в 1860 году. В 1879 году он уехал в Москву, где изучал медицину. Хотя он мало практиковал как врач в своей жизни, он гордился своими медицинскими знаниями больше, чем писательским талантом.
В университете, Чехов писал юмористические эскизы для газет, чтобы поддерживать свою семью. Он собрал лучшие в сборник “Пестрые рассказы”, в 1886 году. Книга привлекла внимание издателя Нового Времени, крупной газеты в России, и Чехову было предложено сотрудничать регулярно.
Чехову, как признаному писателю, удалось разработать свой собственный стиль. Хотя он никогда не бросал писать юмористические рассказы, он начал работать в более серьезном ключе. В 1887 “Иванов”, первая пьеса, созданная Чеховым, ознаменовала его как драматурга.
С тех пор он сконцентрировался на написании пьес, а также коротких рассказов.
Чехов был серьезно болен. Он болел туберкулезом и знал, что это значит. К 1892 его здоровье было настолько плохо, что он боялся провести еще одну зиму в Москве. Он купил небольшое имение близ деревни Мелихово, в 50 милях от Москвы. Он провел там 5 лет, и это были счастливые годы, несмотря на болезнь. Он написал там несколько своих лучших рассказов , в том числе “Палата № 6”, несколько известных одноактных комедий и два серьезных драматических шедевра, “Чайка” и “Дядя Ваня”.
“Чайка” была впервые поставлена в Александринском театре в Петербурге. Это был полный провал из-за скучной и неуклюжой постановки. Это было жестоким ударом для Чехова. Тем не менее, пьеса была успешно поставлена Московским Художественным театром в 1898 году. С тех пор, Чехов была тесно связан с этим театром, и с его основателем, К. С. Станиславским. В 1901 г. он женился на актрисе МХАТ, О. Л. Книппер, которая играла в его пьесе “Три сестры” в том же году.
Здоровье Чехова становилось все хуже и хуже, и ему пришлось провести оставшиеся годы в Крыму и других курортах.
“Вишневый сад “, свою последнюю пьесу он выпустил в 1904 году. Вскоре после премьеры Чехов скончался. Ему было 44.
Чехов оказал огромное влияние на драму двадцатого века. Кроме того, несколько поколений писателей в России и за рубежом изучали его творчество и подражали ему, чтобы совершенствовать свой собственный литературный стиль. -
